AGGRAVATED ROBBERY

300 block of 19th Street

Police responded to McLain Oil Co. at 10:30 a.m. Saturday after a man in his 40s reportedly walked into the business with a rifle, pointed it at an attendant and demanded money.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT

5600 block of Frankford Avenue

A Lubbock County sheriff's deputy suffered minor injuries when he was dragged by a vehicle about 50 yards at the "Chances R" nightclub shortly after midnight Saturday, according to a police report.

The unidentified deputy and his partner were working security for the club when a man accused of attacking his date left the premises without returning the woman's purse, which was in his vehicle.

The man got in his vehicle and started the engine. When the deputy and a security guard at the club told him to turn the engine off, the man yelled an obscenity and began driving off as the deputy pursued on foot, police reports state.

When the deputy reached the vehicle, he became caught on something and was dragged out of the lot until he freed himself. The unidentified man was last seen driving away.

BURGLARY

300 block East Tulane Street

A woman reported that three men armed with bats walked into her home and beat a male friend unconscious after the two had been talking in the living room.

Police officers reported that the house was left a shambles after the three-minute ordeal.

The woman and the man both reported that one of the attackers said, "You owe us."

The 30-year-old victim was taken to University Medical Center where he received treatment for a bloodied face and head. There he told police he recognized his assailants but could not identify them by name.
